Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 So here's the comparison for this sat/sun weekend (all prices best available including online in advance, and there are some smaller runs at many of those places as well as those listed): Windham - 2 1600' vertical routes, with some shorter runs too, high speed lift, $52 Hunter - 2 1600' vertical routes, with some alternate runs, high speed lift, $32 online Belleayre - one 800' vertical route $25 Blue - one 800' vertical route, with some alternate runs, $40 for 6 hrs (is that accurate vertical - not certain) Big Boulder - one 200' vertical route $20 While Blue is more expensive than Hunter or Belleayre, anyone going with no more than 2 people in a car from PA/Central NJ would spend more going to Hunter or Belleayre when gas and tolls are considered. Blue is my choice for Saturday as 800' vertical is enough for me my first day of the "skison". Might consider heading to one of the Catskills places Sunday if I can't get enough.

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted November 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 There's that :-) You know the vertical of Main St chair? Did I guess right or was I a little short? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burton71 Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Mostly likely shooting back up to VT this weekend to avoid the opening weekend shit shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Accurate vertical is 800 vert for Blue....save the Catskills for when more terrain is open and go to Blue but be sure to arrive early. Mostly likely shooting back up to VT this weekend to avoid the opening weekend shit shows. I think calling the ski season the skison is dumb. Just my opinion. U gonna head up to the Catskills straight from Blue? That would save u quite a bit of driving since u live in the Princeton area. Also don't you have a free day at blue from your ski club?

Also don't you have a free day at blue from your ski club? 2 free days at Blue after Jan 5, and will use them on full price days. Not gonna go straight up to Catskills as I don't want to pay for lodging and if I ski hard first day of season, my legs may need a break before day 2. OK, no more skison. I get silly amidst early season stokage. Definitely hitting Blue day 1, just doing public service analysis as part of getting psyched to ski Edited November 20, 2014 by Ski2Live Live2Ski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFskiDan Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Will anything else be so much more epic than skiing local? Lots of people wont think twice about jumping in the car and driving 3-4 hrs each way to ski 3 hrs on 2-3 preseason slopes, but that just aint me. save the drive for something legit. Plus, if you go to Blue, Jeff might let you sit in his new car, and maybe, just maybe, let you beep the horn. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
